In Loughor, Marsh willowherb (Epilobium palustre) was in flower and the Lords and ladies (Arum maculatum) was in berry. The bright red Lily beetle (Liliocera lilii) as well as Soldier and Sailor beetles (Cantharis rustica and Cantharis livida) strutted about. A female Beautiful demoiselle (Calopterix virgo) flitted around in the day and visited by an Iron prominent (Notodonta dromedarius) moth at night.

The Beautiful Demoiselle lives up to her name - what amazingly coloured wings!
First time I have seen one around Loughor! They are not the easiest things to photograph.
